After traveling the country, doing some touring in different bands, a few stints in jails/institutions, and a couple indie-releases (with The Lowdowns on Junk Records), John and Dave have found themselves in their latest project; a four piece band based in San Francisco California known as Stella Royale (named after a vintage blues guitar and the world’s most beautiful midget).

The new line up includes: John Spaw - electric/acoustic guitar, vocals David Craig – baritone/bass guitar, keys, vocals Rom Kuras – drums/percussion Kat Cornelius – trumpet/French horn, acordion, percussion

After returning from what seemed like a lifetime of touring with various circus acts and sideshows, and after failing miserably at juggling and acrobatics, John Spaw and David Craig found their true talent to be composing and performing music.

They discovered the ability to write songs filled with deep lyrics and sometimes haunting melodies using a bizarre combination of folk Americana, punk, rock n’ roll, and jazz influences.

John explains, “Before we were collecting “pickled punks” and eating light bulbs for traveling side shows, Dave and I were just teenage drinking buddies with a mutual passion for music. Dave was playing bass in a Ska band and I was teaching myself how to play guitar. We used to sit up all night in his Volkswagen bug, drinking beer and listening to bands like The Clash, David Bowie, Bauhaus, Velvet Underground, and The Sex Pistols. One day we decided to start our own band, we have been involved in some sort of musical project together ever since”.

Recorded in 2 months 2008, ‘cockroach ensemble’, the newest self released album from Stella Royale, sounds like a combo plate of garage rock n’ roll, Jazz, Blues and Folk Americana.

“This latest CD release is all new music since the band reformed with Rom Kuras on drums & Kat Cornelius on Trumpet & French horn. There is definitely a fresh dynamic of sound and influence to Cockroach Ensemble, a must hear for music enthusiasts".

"Stella Royale conjures a sound that is both original and referential of many preceding things. A dash of punk - though hardly how you imagine it - a hint of shoegazer - again, quit imagining and just go listen - indie rock, psychadelic, blues, good old rock n roll and a heady dose of non-conformity". -Corazine

Greetings Stella Royale, Please let me hear more of that wonderful sound. I keep searching for you between the cushions. You ever remind me of the enigma of happy thoughts I once forgot. In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you. The music that flows from your instruments overwhelms me with creativity. I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights. So charmingly silky, your skin is like a teardrop on a popsickle. All my thoughts are lost to your graceful gaze? Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. The skin I shed is a perfume that makes water bubbles so terribly clear to me. Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a thousand supernovas. If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. Your tears evoke a taste as memorable as honey. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure.
